Description

A festering atheroma of the earlobe is depicted in this section view, showing a sebaceous cyst that has become infected, resulting in pus accumulation. The visualization emphasizes the swollen, inflamed earlobe with a visible rupture or opening where the infection has caused discharge to leak out. This image is valuable for dermatologists and healthcare professionals in understanding the progression of an atheroma from a benign cyst to an infected, abscessed condition. It offers a clear depiction of how infection can complicate the cyst, leading to potential pain, redness, and the need for medical intervention to drain the pus and prevent further complications.
